Its requirements to keep waters fishable and swimable and to maintain downstream water quality results in stringent discharge limits. The COP articulates a need to set goals, yet it overlooks the tact that a reasonable goal--to have fishable, swimmable waters--was set more than three decades ago, under the Clean Water Act in 1972," says Jackie Savitz, director of Oceana's pollution campaign. Instead of just doing health programs in the faith communities (giving them fish), the philanthropic and religious organizations sought to not only teach the participants "how to fish" but also showed them "how to build their own fishing poles and give them maps of the area showing the location of the fishable waters" (allowed them to develop their programs using their own resources and based on their belief systems). |
